I've been lurking here for several years now. I think you and I started racing about the same time.. me in AAMRR around 1969. I had an old BSA Gold Star and was working at International Cycles in Sharon Hill, PA (Ed LaBelle's old shop)near Philly. My boss was Ed Fletcher who raced IOM sidecar outfits with your friend Maurice Candy. Other boss was Fuzzy Carlson who was campaigning a Harley KR road racer at the time. Anyway, everyone urged me to race so i did! My Gold Star "mentor" was Nick Baronian who crashed and died (on the Gold Star)at Mosport in 1969. I inherited his BSA racer and eventually his G50. It was an ex-Bob Hansen "practice" machine, 4 speed, pretty standard factory bike. Anyway I eventually ended up at Stan's Cycle Shop in Doylestown, PA, where I met "the Indian" Greg Frazier, who says he knows you.. We raced BMW's for Stan for a few years and I eventually drifted away from racing.. Now 40+ years later, I am totally excited about Moto-Giro, so maybe we will meet up next season.. - bill olson (in Maine)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990383502677327774.post-29057709215422655882015-12-06T10:03:56.157-05:002015-12-06T10:03:56.157-05:0044 continuous years of racing, 44 starts, 22 wins,...44 continuous years of racing, 44 starts, 22 wins, and a Lap of Honour at the IOM. <br />You set the bar quite high for the rest of the pack!<br />Congratulations on the 350GP Championship and all the great racing action this season provided. <br />Thank you for your blog- the writing and photos balance the specifics and the colour commentary in a way rarely seen in sports writing.<br />Here's to looking forward to 2016...<br />The North American Chapter of the Dave Roper Fan ClubAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
